Staff Moehring asked about national safety guidelines that the City must follow for right turn lanes accommodating bicycles and automobiles. Staff Khan - Staff has worked on such an issue for example if you were to ride on Fernside today and cross High Street going west you will see that staff did not have the space to create a bike lane, so they dropped a lane and included sharrows. The cities of Oakland and Berkeley have made similar treatments. Page 5 of 13 | TransportationCommission/2012-01-25.pdf |
